Amazing Gracie has Tagged us for an "8 Random Things About Me" meme. A while back Mz Jackson tagged us on our Home Page for a "7 Random Things" so I'm re-posting Plus 1 more fact . . . .
1. I have a skin graft on my right wrist & left buttock cheek as a result of a car accident when I was 18 years old (No picture for this one!)
2. I love to be tickled & will often pay the girlies to tickle my arm. The story behind this is that my sister is 10 years older than me & used to do this to send me off to sleep when I was young. Still works to this day.
3. I'm addicted to Terry's Chocolate Oranges & hate having to share them.
4. I'm not a huge fan of TV competitions but I love The Eurovision Song Contest.
5. I'm useless at guessing games.
6. I hate washing dirty dishes.
7. I can be sadistic & will stir a cup of hot coffee then try to tap the spoon on the back of the hand of some unsuspecting person (only those over the age of 18 & usually Andy but he's getting wise to this one!).
PLUS 1:
8. Although I'm petrified of hights I did a Bungee Jump at Taupo in New Zealand in 2001. This was my Christmas present from Andy's Dad! It was nice to travel half way around the world for your partner's family to pay for the pleasure of terrifying you! This was an amazing rush & something I'll never forget or do again (ever!).
As I've tagged 5 of you before you are safe BUT Talj, Ruth & Whenn you are here by officially tagged to make the victims lucky numbers up to 8. Go visit Gracie for instructions.

The '80's Tag
We've been tagged by
1. Go to
2.Pick the year you turned 18 (look to the side bar and there are tabs for Billboard number 1 hits for each decade)
3. Get yourself nostalgic over the songs of the year
4. Write something about how the song affected you
5. Pass it on
Ok, the year was 1988 & the month was January. The number 1 hit of the week was "George Harrison" - Got My Mind Set On You
.
I don't remember this being number 1, but there again I can't argue what I believe was number one as I really don't remember! What I do remember is it snowed for my birthday. So there I was with a number of friends, all trying to look cool, tottering around town from bar to bar in high heeled shoes/boots trying to look cool whilst keeping our balance. An art form I could carry off well in those days.
Later that year I got engaged (far too young & against the better judgement of Pops, but did I listen? No!). Three days after I ended up in hospital after being a passenger in a rather nasty car accident. My now ex-husband was horrified as he had been the driver of the car & was uninjured (even though the accident itself was not his fault). I remember him buying me this track whilst I was recovering after my second operation . . . .
"Phil Collins" - Groovy Kind Of Love
But the track that really catapults me back to 1988 is this one . . .
"Bobby Ferrin" - Don't Worry Be Happy
"Us Danes" have decided that we will only tag people once per week, therefore please feel free to join in this tag if you choose. Don't forget to leave a link to your post in the "Pats For The Pooch" box if you are brave enough to rise to the challenge x x
